Jesus Not Drugs Is Our Hope

There was a time when I felt lonely and forsaken. Everything I had was either gone or taken. I lost all hope and had no place to stay. Just trying to get through another day. I thought that drugs would give me what I needed. The "danger signs" in life... I no longer heeded. I learned about "joints" and "tricks." All I lived for... was another "fix." I felt no right or wrong. No guilt or shame. Then one night... An "angel of mercy" came. "Jesus loves you!" Were whispered into my ear. Without help soon. I knew death was near! This "angel" gave me a place to rest my head. He seen to it that I was clothed and fed. His words were filled with a message of hope. I soon gave up all of my drugs and dope. This "angel of God," gave me an invitation. And soon I received God's gift of salvation. I traded me "ashes" for God's mercy and grace. I now have joy in my heart & a smile on my face. God's love can do what no drugs could ever do! He's here right now... and is waiting for YOU! By Jim Pemberton 01.14.07
